Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 73

Fortune cake
Lu Jueyu patted her fast beating heart to calm down and said, “I’m sorry for shouting at you, I didn’t mean it.”

Fortunately, she put the things directly in the basket. Otherwise, her secret might have been discovered. It seems that she needs to be more careful in the future.

Li Chenmo didn’t know what she was thinking, and thought she was feeling guilty for raising her voice at him. So, he rubbed her head to pacify her and said, “It’s okay. It’s all my fault for scaring you. What are you doing?”

Seeing that Li Chenmo had no doubts, Lu Jueyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “I’m preparing New Year’s gifts and items that we will bring back to my family tomorrow. Husband, do you think these are enough for father and brothers?”

Li Chenmo knew she was talking about his family, so after checking what she had prepared, he said, “It’s enough.”

Seeing that she had prepared a gift for his second brother, Li Chenmo said again, “If you don’t like them, we don’t need to give the gift.”

Lu Jueyu sighed, and said, “Although I don’t like Jiao Siyu, Li Chenxuan is your second brother after all. No matter what, we should give them some gifts. Otherwise, others will talk about you behind your back.”

Li Chenmo felt sweet when he heard her words. Although the things given to Li Chenze and Li Chenxuan were different, people would not say anything. What’s more, Lu Jueyu prepared the same thing for them. So, he was sure that no one would find fault with them.

After all, Li Chenze’s family helped him renovate his house and take care of his wedding banquet, and everyone saw it. As for Li Chenxuan, not only did he not help, he was even scolding those people who helped cook the wedding banquet for taking away the leftovers, which made the Li family lose face.

“Thank you, wife.” Li Chenmo bent down and kissed her forehead.

Lu Jueyu’s face turned red instantly when she was kissed suddenly. She glared at him and said, “What are you doing?”

“Kissing my wife.” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

Lu Jueyu was speechless by his shameless words, but she couldn’t refute, because she was indeed his wife, and it was normal for her to be kissed by him. In the end, she could only ignore him and walked towards the bedroom under his urging.

At the same time, at Father Li’s house, Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu were sitting on the Kang, talking to Father Li.

“Father, you promised to give us money when we come back. Why did you suddenly say that you have no money?” Jiao Siyu asked.

Father Li glanced at her and said, “I said, if you help with the wedding, I will give you money. But what did you do? Not only did you not help, but you even made trouble, throwing our family’s faces on the ground!”

“Father, you can’t blame me for this matter. Who knew that the third sister-in-law was so generous and let those women bring so much food back? If she told me about this beforehand, I wouldn’t quarrel with them.” Jiao Siyu was displeased and argued back.

Whenever she thought of how much food and meat that was taken away by those people, she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken, and had the urge to scold Lu Jueyu. Who gave her the right to make decisions? Those foods were bought by Father Li and should be given to the Li family!

Judging by her expression, how could Father Li not understand her thoughts?

“The ingredients were bought by Xiaoyu and the third son. Therefore, it is up to them who they want to give the food to. What’s more, didn’t you eat a lot at the wedding banquet? Not only did you not help, you didn’t even bring a wedding gift.” Father Li snorted and said.

“Father, how can you say such a thing? We are the third elder brother’s family. Have you ever seen family members give wedding gifts when their family members get married?” Jiao Siyu asked with wide eyes.

“Then have you ever seen anyone who is not helping when their family members get married?” Father Li asked her back.

This time, Jiao Siyu couldn’t refute Father Li’s words at all. Seeing that his wife was speechless, Li Chenxuan hurriedly said, “Father, we will apologize to the third brother. It is true that we did not help, but your words cannot be said like that. You know our situation. If you don’t help us, we will not be able to celebrate the New Year.”

Father Li was very disappointed with Li Chenxuan, but he was his son after all, and he couldn’t really ignore them. In the end, he took out twenty yuan and handed it to them while saying at the same time, “That’s all I have. Take it and spend the new year peacefully. Stop causing trouble everywhere.”

Seeing that the money was not as much as expected, Li Chenxuan was a little displeased. But although it is a mosquito leg, it is still meat after all. So he took the money and said, “Father is not feeling well, so we will take our leave first. Father, please rest early.”

After Li Chenxuan and his wife left, Father Li heaved a long sigh and shook his head. He didn’t know what would happen to his second son if he died one day. Now they each have their own families and will lead their own lives, it is impossible for him to ask other sons to take care of Li Chenxuan.

After resting for two hours, Lu Jueyu was busy preparing some thank you gifts in the kitchen. This time, Li Chenmo insisted on helping her. Since he couldn’t cook, Lu Jueyu asked him to help light the fire, while she made fortune cakes.

The recipe for fortune cake is very simple, all she needs is all-purpose flour, brown sugar, hot water and baking powder.
